(Even so, the fact that there are none of these muffins currently in the house is beside the point.)

In any case, was I intending to put chocolate chips in these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins? No. I really wasn’t. But then I looked at them and thought, pumpkin with chocolate chips? Mmmmmm!

It’s such a great combination.

So, to make Christopher happy, I halved the amount of chocolate chips I would normally put in muffins and put an equal amount of raisins. See? Compromise! I can do it!

Certainly, Christopher should be incredibly proud of me because I refrained from putting a whole cup of chocolate chips in these delicious muffins. Don’t you agree?

How to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

I preheat my oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line the muffin pan with 9 muffin cups because, as I’ve stated a million and a half times, we like big muffins.

We have some pumpkin puree, butter, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, vanilla and nutmeg.

To begin with, I drag out my stand mixer and place the butter and sugar in it. Then I turn the mixer on until the two are combined. From here on I add the puree, eggs and vanilla and mix them until they are incorporated.

Finally, I spoon the batter into the muffin cups. In fact, I fill them to overflowing, all the while giggling!

I also pop the paleo pumpkin muffins into the oven and bake them for 25 minutes.

Yum, yum!

I let the pumpkin muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing them to a wire rack.

Finally, here they are after they’ve cooled.

Then I piled them on a plate. I know, obvious, of course.

Ta-da!!
